Abstract

Recently, in order to solve various social problems faced by single-person households in Korea, the government and local governments are seeking ways to build social networks within the region through policies and support for single-person households. One of them, community space for single-person households, is gradually expanding as the need for a third place for social connection among single-person households increases. In this study, we aim to redefine the functions and roles of village community space as a third place and suggest ways to effectively utilize village community space. To this end, through prior research, we derived the characteristics of village community space as a third place for single-person households, and conducted a case analysis targeting Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, which has a high proportion of single-person households. As a result of the study, it was found that the existing village community space must also be changed to match the community that is changing into a community-centered space. Accordingly, there is a need to implement a village community space as a third place where single households can establish flexible relationships in a place where appropriate anonymity and privacy are guaranteed.
